I shaved my head.

Guard #2. 6mm

Shock

I've always wanted to do it. I kept seeing people having done it.

I was bored.

I love it. But am self conscious about it also.

Very liberating.

I had a number 2 with a flat top for years. Now my hair is nearly down to my bum, and I’d love an undercut. Maybe it’s the time to do it now lol.

Go for it magic!

@Banananbixfloof, on no account attempt with scissors! However if you do, do post a pic! 😂 Not quite the same but last week I shaved off my eyebrows. Well bits and pieces of one and half the other, because I realised half way through I didn't own an eyebrow pencil. I also realised I need some of it (like the main part) to look right, and I had some eyeshadow which sufficed the rest. A pencil would be too harsh on me with completely bare brows!

It really suits you

leafygarden · 09/04/2020 18:23

OP -you rock!

It looks great - and so easy to care for too - win win

BayandBlonde · 09/04/2020 18:48

I'm having real problems posting Confused

My hair is currently about an inch long all over (roughly a nr 8) I would love to shave it all off (second pic) Grin

My horses clippers are super sharp!

I cringed at your opening post.

Then I saw your pic. You look flipping awesome!

doctorboo · 09/04/2020 19:28

OP love your new cut!

Very impressed with everyone who’s shared their pics.
I’ve grown out my short back and sides over the last couple of years - used the opportunity to go dye free too and show off my grey hair...Today I fell off that wagon and dyed my hair with an 8 wash dark brown Blush 😭 I’m not even that keen on the result!!!

JonHammIsMyJamm · 09/04/2020 19:50

@BayandBlonde you look gorgeous. Damn

zippyswife · 09/04/2020 21:10

@BayandBlonde seriously hot.

ssd · 09/04/2020 22:00

Agree Bay, you must be a model?

EngagedAgain · 09/04/2020 22:28

@doctorboo, at least if it's just an 8 wash you won't have to put up with it too long. I often fall off the wagon with hair, (as well as food!) Saying I'm not colouring anymore, or growing or cutting it, then getting bored with it.

lifeisgoodmostofthetime · 09/04/2020 22:31

Wowwwww was my reaction to your pic. You look amazing

Sarahlou63 · 09/04/2020 22:39

Went from a bleached bob to a No 8 over the last couple of days. Had to do it in stages but love it! Nearly 57 Grin

I shaved my head.
ifowaa · 09/04/2020 22:39

Wow! Love all the shaved heads, you are all beautiful women.

managedmis · 10/04/2020 03:06

Frigging Nora

You're all so BRAVE! Shock

And hot too Grin 🔥

Starfish1234 · 10/04/2020 03:25

Fucksake, I’ve been trying to talk myself down from doing it and now this thread pops up!
I’ve got short hair already, but really high forehead and no chin. I think I’d look like a potato Grin

Livinthedream1 · 10/04/2020 03:41

You look fabulous! Been thinking about doing mine just to get rid of the blonde - I’m scared!

BayandBlonde · 10/04/2020 06:25

The second pic isn't me!!! Blush I wish

Gingernaut · 10/04/2020 11:35

Not brave, just impulsive. And fairly clumsy.

Started with No. 8 guard, completely fucked up the left and right ear tapers and finally had to No. 2 all over to hide the mistakes.

I can deal with it all, but the back is a mess.

And I'm pretty overweight and look like a potato.

WearyandBleary · 10/04/2020 11:42

Wow you all look awesome. Finding my youthful bisexual inclinations kicking back in...

LittleMissBrainy · 10/04/2020 13:50

Oh my gosh, you all look fabulous!! I'm so tempted to do mine from this thread! I'm worried about the regrowth though.
Any tips?
